Chapter 513 Sold Out in Five Minutes!
The four people in the dormitory had already discussed it long ago, and when Chen Mo's new handheld came out, he would definitely buy one. The Switch is not expensive, it only costs 2,000 yuan in total, and four people each share 500 yuan is enough.
Moreover, this host is also equipped with some games, especially "Super Mario Odyssey", everyone has seen the demo screen in the classroom, and they all feel very interesting.
For these college students, don't expect VR game cabins, they will definitely not be able to play, because they can't afford it at all, even if they can afford a dormitory.
As for computers, the computers of these students are generally relatively low-configured, and some large-scale PC games are still difficult to run. After all, students have no money, and many students buy laptops with relatively low configuration.
As for the mobile phone, the main thing is that the screen is small and the operation is inconvenient. It is incomparable with the cool device like the Switch. On the one hand, buying the Switch is to buy a new one, and on the other hand, the price/performance ratio is really suitable.
The average cost of the four per capita is only 500 yuan, but if you want to buy a mobile phone with similar configuration, you have to go for four or five thousand yuan!
"Hurry up, it's time!"
"No problem, I'm all ready, refresh, grab the order!"
"Hey, damn, the campus network card is out! This stupid network!"
"Hurry up and start again, refresh quickly, don't lose the chain at this critical moment!"
At the moment when the robbery started, the campus network of the pit father suddenly fell off the chain, and several people hurriedly checked the network connection, and it was 5 minutes after the network was restored.
Hurry up to open the shopping link on the official website and click to buy now.
"Why is the interface not responding?"
"What's up with this prompt? It's sold out??"
"Quickly change to other shopping sites to see!"
"It's the same, there is no stock in Qilu area!"
"Damn it, it's true or false, what's the situation? Is there a bug in the system?"
Several people are stunned, what's the situation?
Sold out? How could it be sold out? It's only been on sale for 5 minutes!
A few people don't give up,
I have changed several websites, and the results are all the same, they are all sold out, and they all show sold out!
"Why is this handheld like Lehui mobile phone! Is this playing hunger marketing? Why is it sold out as soon as it was released?"
"Is there a shortage of stock? Is it possible that only a few thousand units are available?"
Many people recalled the fear of robbing Lehui mobile phones before. Because Lehui was insufficient, it was often sold in small quantities and needed to be robbed. As a result, many people said that it was deliberately engaging in hunger marketing to whet everyone’s appetite.
As a result, Zhou Jiangping had to come out to clarify, not playing hunger marketing! Why not sell it if you can sell it? It's true that the productivity can't keep up!
As a result, why did Chen Mo also play this game?
A boy in the dormitory checked it out and said, "I'm dizzy. It turns out that this handheld is a collaboration with Le Hui! No wonder Zhou Jiangping also taught Chen Mo badly and played hunger marketing!"
"I said, the culprit is here!"
"No, I'm going to find Chen Mo on Weibo and scold Zhou Jiangping by the way. Why don't you teach me better!"
"That's right, I'm going too! By the way, let's see if Chen Mo has posted on Weibo. What's the reason? Could it be a network problem?"
...
It's not just these few people, the major forums and post bars on the Internet have exploded, and many people are posting one after another, saying that they can't buy it at all!
"Damn it, I just refreshed the page accidentally, and it's gone if I buy it again!"
"I accidentally overslept, but I woke up and saw that even the handles were sold out!"
"I bought the handheld first and didn't buy it, and then I wanted to buy the handle, but it was gone!"
"How about other websites? Can't you buy from other websites?"
"Don't ask, it's all the same, I just came back from there and couldn't buy it. Hurry up and ask Chen Mo what's going on?"
Soon, Chen Mo posted on Weibo.
"There is good news and bad news for everyone. The good news is that the Switch stocked up to 150,000 and the standalone controller stocked up to 100,000, and they were all sold out within five minutes. It can be said to be a great success. The bad news is that I still want to buy it. Students can only wait until next month..."
As soon as this Weibo came out, there were hundreds of comments below it.
"Damn it, what's the situation? I have prepared 150,000 handhelds and 100,000 controllers, but they are all sold out. Is it such a nonsense??"
"I thought I was in the minority, but so many people are buying it!"
"Yeah, shouldn't you wait and see, you should wait and see before buying!"
"I'm so pissed, you guys actually rob me!"
"Did anyone buy it? I highly suspect that Chen Mo is lying, and he didn't prepare so many goods at all!"
...
In Zhou Jiangping's office.
Chen Mo handed over his cell phone and showed him the message on Weibo: "Mr. Zhou, you have made me suffer."
Zhou Jiangping also had a painful expression on his face: "Mr. Chen, I didn't expect it to sell so well! And there are a lot of people scolding me on Weibo!"
Chen Mo wondered, "Why do you scold you?"
Zhou Jiangping smiled bitterly: "Everyone said that you were taught by me to engage in hunger marketing, so they are scolding me..."
Chen Mo laughed: "No problem, it really depends on you."
Zhou Jiangping was very helpless: "Yes, I rely on me, I am already urging manufacturers to speed up production."
Originally, Chen Mo's plan was to prepare the first batch of at least 300,000 handhelds and 200,000 independent controllers, but Zhou Jiangping said that this was too risky, and he did not agree anyway.
Because according to Lehui's experience, like some popular mobile phones that have attracted much attention, it is enough to stock hundreds of thousands of units at the beginning. The main reason is that if this thing can't be sold, it will be a pure loss, and the first batch is unnecessary. So many are put into production at once, and the production capacity can't keep up.
The first batch of 150,000 handhelds and 100,000 independent controllers were stocked, which was already the highest limit Zhou Jiangping could accept.
Chen Mo actually felt that this quantity was too small. In the previous life, when Nintendo first released the Switch, 3 million were sold out. Although it was aimed at the international market, Chen Mo felt that dividing it by ten should not be too much, right?
Although Chen Mo does not have as much influence as Nintendo in the parallel world, aside from foreign countries, there are a lot of hardcore fans of Chen Mo in China.
However, Chen Mo also considered that in the parallel world, players have no corresponding habits, and there are no real hard-core handheld and console players, so after thinking about it, he still agrees with Zhou Jiangping's opinion, and the first batch of 15 Wan, wait until sold out.
It was all sold out in just five minutes! It is even faster than some popular mobile phones of Lehui Mobile!
After getting this news, many people who were not optimistic about the Switch before all stopped talking.
Did this handheld fail? It was so successful!
Even some popular models of Lehui mobile phones have not sold so well. As a brand-new handheld, it is a miracle that the Switch can be sold so far!
And a lot of people have found out, why the game cartridges of "Super Mario Odyssey" are sold more than the handheld? !
A total of 250,000 of the handheld and controller were in stock, but the physical cassette of the game Odyssey sold 370,000, not including the digital version!
Everyone is stunned, what's the situation?
